Question about marriage and conversion to Islam to become a good Muslim husband and father.
Her name is Iman and we both are Muslim and would like to stay that way but her father is Christian he is my boyfriend still at this present time and we are staying with him. IF we decide to get married and he DECIDES to convert to Islam then would it be a sin to have a big wedding? Should I just get the imam to come around to my house on a Thursday night. I have asked questions and most people tell me that i should just get the Imam to come around and marry us on a Thursday night. If everything works out for me and him what other steps should he follow to become a Muslim as my parents are not that religious?

How much time a man and woman should ideally spend/have to get to know each other before marriage?
I met a man at the ISNA matrimonial banquet over a year ago. He gave me his contact number and I emailed him afterwards to stay in contact. We communicated occasionally over phone and email for over a year. I have been very stressed as he is a very qualified and nice man and I’m sure he wouldn’t have any trouble finding a much younger wife. However, while he calls me and has indicated that he likes me, he hasn’t proceeded to have any discussions about us getting married. I am inclined to think he is not interested and is talking to other women so won’t tell me anything serious now.

I have converted to Islam but my boyfriend is delaying marriage as he is convincing his family to marry me.
My boyfriend was guiding me to Islam and it took so long time(nearly 2 yrs to understand the beauty of islam) and then I became Muslim. We don’t work in same place any longer. He is either not willing to come out or he is getting scared to spend time with me. I understand that now he is staying with his family and it won’t be the same as earlier. I feel I have been rejected by him. I m ready to do anything to convince his family but they are not ready to accept me.

We want to spend our lives together but I am not sure if I should trust him due to cultural, religious and age differences.
I have met and fallen in love with a Saudi student who is considerably younger than me (18years). He is from one of the most liberal cities in KSA and has told me that his family will eventually accept me. I can’t help but wonder if this is possible due to the age and cultural difference, and the fact that his student visa will be expiring in another year or so. I also worry that he may be married already and hiding it from me, so that he has someone to be with while he is in the states. Is there a way to find out if he is married and is there any hope for this relationship?

Should I leave him as he won’t marry me or just stay for the sake of our children?
I have been in a relationship for 5yrs with a Pakistani man and I have 2 children with him and my other children all think he is their dad. He wont marry me. I new him for 18months before we got together when my daughter was just born then I had my son and he still wanted relationship with me. I do everything myself I take nothing from him he gives me nothing in return. Also I didnt find out till after a few years he has a wife and has kids with her; now I feel very trapped.

Should he cut off ties with his childhood hurtful friends for me?
Unfortunately, Foogle and his friends were suspicious that Frodo had a love interest and asked him if he was talking to me. He denied it every time. Eventually they found out in July that I was speaking to Frodo through hacking his MSN chats (with me) and keylogging his Facebook login and email. When my sister pretended to be me, his friend swore at me and said “don’t go around posting my address you b****.” They started saying rubbish like “What the f*** do you know about the Quran” and talking rudely about circumcision etc my brother said they said much more WORSE things and he has been very concerned about the type of person Frodo could be if his friends could behave like this.

We both are married but we still love each other and been intimate together. Please help
Until one day, I decided to marry the girl I just met, thinking that the other one is so far from me and long distance relationship most of the time don’t work. Then she couldn’t believe that I got married; she cried I caused her pain which she carried out for years. Even if she really loves me, she doesn’t like to be my second wife. And sometimes she have the guts to ask for a divorce. Until one day, I received a divorce agreement from her family, asking me to sign the papers. Yesterday, she got married and I told her, just pretend that you have your monthly period to avoid having intercourse and tell him that ramadan is also coming. The main purpose is to avoid confusion later on if who’s the father (if she will able to conceive).

We text and call each other; I just want to know if it’s right or wrong to do so before marriage?
Prior to my graduation; I met a Muslim girl 3 years ago who is born and raised Muslim, from the same ethnicity/background as mine. Long story short; we both exchanged text massages, calls and even met a couple times (public/private) Istaqfurullah. Its something I regret now. have decided to marry this girl but I am financially not ready. I am aware of the talks and text we are doing is haram so in that case I would like to do atleast a nikah but at this point what I am thinking is that we are in Ramadan. Should I keep talking to her or exchange text massages or wait till nikkah and cut contact with her.

Should I continue praying for the man I love to marry me or should I move on?
I wanted to marry a man from a different background and school of thought to my own; due to his past and cultural differences my family rejected him. When my father eventually came round he decided to do istikarah and informed me that he was no longer willing to marry me because of my father and small differences we had in the past. I’m in a bit of a limbo because on one hand I should accept his decision and move on but on the other I love him so and can’t move on he’s such a beautiful person mashallah. I sometimes don’t know whether I am right or wrong? Should I accept Allah’s decree and move on and accept the past is over or should I pray for our marriage?

I am having evil thoughts about the girl I wish to marry due to her past and can’t decide what to do? Please help
am a new Muslim, and 20 years of age and I am having some issues concerning relationships. I’ve known this girl for about nearly all my life and its beeen 3 months now since we confessed our love for each other but we’ve been in love for more than a year and I knew she loved me and that I loved her. I’ve never had sex in my life even though I wasn’t Muslim all my life and have been in several relationships but she told me just recently that she did have sex before with her previous “boyfriend” and he forced her? I cry every night asking for Allah’s help and every time I think about leaving her my heart aches and I just cant do it. I’ve never loved anyone like this in my life, to the point I would fall sick whenever I dont communicate with her.
